Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO of Edelweiss Asset Management, has taken to social media to voice frustration over the worsening condition of Gurgaon’s Golf Course Extension Road. Terming it “Pothole Extension Road” and even “Crater Connection,” Gupta highlighted how the Delhi-Gurgaon commute becomes a nightmare during the monsoon. She pointed out the irony: while Gurgaon boasts about ₹100 crore luxury apartments, the city’s basic infrastructure, especially roads, needs urgent attention. As India’s “Millennium City,” Gurgaon often represents rapid urbanization and growth—but Gupta’s post is a reminder that world-class infrastructure must come before luxury real estate ambitions. #gurugram #poorInfrastructure #realEstate #startupHUB #startupUpdates #startupro
